Callum Slattery watched on as England’s Young Lions started their Toulon Tournament campaign with a 1-0 win over Angola.
The team, which is made up a mixture of players from the under-18 to under-20 age groups, triumphed thanks to Ike Ugbo’s goal early in the second half.
Saints midfielder Slattery was an unused substitute for the game, in Aubagne, but will hope to see action when the Young Lions face Cuba, in their second group match, on Thursday.
3,072 – minutes played in the Premier League, second only to Fraser Forster (3,420) at Southampton.
59.1 – Average passes per game, which is the most of any Southampton player in the Premier League this season.
2,068 – The total number of passes made by Romeu during the season, which was more than 300 ahead of any other Saints player. It also put him tenth in the entire Premier League.
117 – The number of tackles Romeu has made in the Premier League, which is 34 more than any other Saints player (Cédric – 83). Only Everton’s Idrissa Gueye (136) and Chelsea’s N’Golo Kanté (126) made more.
89 – The number of interceptions he made in the Premier League during 2016/17. Virgil van Dijk, on 54, was the next closest Saints player. No midfielder made more in the whole of the division, while Hull’s Curtis Davies and Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny (both 90) were the only ones ahead of Romeu.
66 – Clearances made during the Premier League season, which was the most by any Saints midfielder.
13 – The number of shots Romeu blocked, which was the most of any Southampton midfielder in the 2016/17 Premier League campaign.

Ticketing details for the game at Brentford will be announced soon.
